Self-Rule Plan
Gets Approval
From Aderhold
Student Council Proposal
To Receive Faculty Vote
At November Meeting
By Mike Edwards
Pros. 0. C. Aderhold this week
“substantially” approved the stu
dent council plan which was rati
fied in a referendum last spring.
The president said he thought
several changes should be made in
the wording of the constitution,
but said he agreed with the overall
plan. The changes would more clear
ly define the functions of student
representatives on faculty commit
tees.
Faculty Vote Set
The committee on student affairs
will present the plan to the faculty
at a meeting Nov. 21. Faculty ap
proval is the last major step toward
putting the plan into operation on a
probationary basis.
After one year of operation, the
plan would become permanent if it
proves satisfactory.
Minor changes will be Incorporated
before the plan is submitted to the
faculty, Dr. W. O. Collins, student
affairs committee chairman, said
this week.
Voting Power Recommended
He said the group would recom
mend that student committee repre
sentatives be given voting power on
an equal basis with faculty members.
If the plan is approved, at least two
students would be named to five key
committees—student affairs, student
conduct, intercollegiate athletics,
social life, and student appropria
tions.
Student committeemen would be
elected from a council of delegates-
from each school and college. One
delegate would be chosen for each
200 students. In addition, GOP, IFC,
POW, Pan-Hel, Ag Hill Council, and
Women's Student Government would
be given one delegate each.

By Negro Law School Applicant
Food Technologists
Map Moving Plans
Food technology department may
occupy the present Veterinary Medi
cine school facilities when vet medi
cine equipment is moved to the new
building. University officials said
this week.
"The move would benefit us
greatly," W. C. Mills, food tech
nology head, said, "because our fa
cilities are divided between Conner
Hall and the Food Technology Build
ing."
The Vet. Medicine Building will not
be completed until an additional
$500,000 is appropriated by the
board of regents. However, Dean
Thomas Jones expects to move vet
school equipment into the new build
ing by Thanksgiving.
Food technology department will
use it8 present building for research
and classes if the move is approved
Mills said.

Regents Promise Legal Fight
As Admission Threat Looms
By Chuck Martin
A Negro Law school applicant this week rejected the board of re
gents’ offer of out-of-state tuition, raising speculation that, a suit for
admission to the University might not be far away.
Records at the board of regents office in Atlanta showed that, in
recent weeks, Negroes have applied for admission to the Law and
Graduate schools here, and to the
Medical school in Augusta.
A spokesman for the regents said
it is customary for Negroes to apply
for admission to the University in
order to be offered financial aid to
attend comparable Institutions in
other states.
All but one of the applicants have
accepted the aid, the spokesman said.
But Horace Ward, 23, this week ad
vised the executive secretary of the
regents that "I must decline the pro-
offered out-of-state aid.”
NAACT* Noncommittal
Ward holds an A.B. degree from
Morehouse College and a master’s
degree from Atlanta University. He
seeks admission to the Law school
in June, 1951.
He could not be reached for com
ment laBt night.
Earlier, Dr. William Boyd, state
president of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, said he had no comment on
the Negro applications.
The regents spokesman said the
board will use all its legal resources
to fight an admittance suit if one
is filed. He said the board will stand
on the state constitution, which re
quires separate education for white
and Negro students.
Southern Plans Similar
The state spends $60,000 to $70,-
000 annually to provide out-of-state
education for Negroes who wish to
study for graduate degrees.
Georgia's plan Is similar to ones
used in other southern states where
federal courts have ruled recently
that Negroes must be permitted to
enter their state universities it they
wish.
It is reported that some Negro
leaders have threatened to bring a
test sutt in Georgia, but so far as
can be learned, none has been filed

pany, contractor for the library,

and begin work shortly, Presi
dent Aderhold said.

Ending a two-week controversy,
Wilbur Brooks, Elberton, was chosen
chief Justice of Law school honor
court Monday.
CHIEF JUSTICE BROOKS
After Ttco Weeks, a Settlement
The controversy arose when
Brooks defeated M. C. Pritchard,
Waycross, in a run-off election for
the post. Neither candidate polled a
majority op /the first ballot two
weeks ago.
Brooks had only 74 of the 75 law
credit hours required for classifica
tion as a third year student. Rules
state that the chief justice must be
in his third year.
However, the court reasoned that
the honor code constitution, while
stipulating that the chief Justice
must be in his third year, does not
mention a specific number of credit
hours.
Since Brooks will graduate next
June he may be classified as a third
year student, the court decided.
Brooks Is now in his seventh quar
ter in Law school, and is a pledge in
Delta Theta Phi legal fraternity. He
entered Law school with an 84 aver
age.
The new chief justice served in
the Navy as a third class boatswain
and is a former Georgia Tech stu
dent.
